Some Free Songs and Some Great Music

To promote its annual September iTunes Festival, Apple is giving away six songs from some of the artists. The songs are:

Chain My Name by POLICA

The Curse by Agnes Obel

My Love Took Me Down the River to Silence Me by Little Green Cars

Trying to be Cool by Phoenix

Workin’ Woman Blues by Valerie June

2013 by Primal Scream

The iTunes Festival runs the entire month of September, usually with two artists each day. While I haven’t heard of many of the artists, some of the more notable are Elton John, Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Kings of Leon, Robin Thicke and John Legend. You can get the full schedule here.

You can stream the shows live or on demand for free with the iTunes Festival app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, on your computer with iTunes, or on your TV with Apple TV.

To get the free songs:

Step 1: Open the Apple Store app.

Step 2: Tap ’30 nights of music’.

Step 3: Tap ‘Download songs for free’.

Step 4: You will be redirected to iTunes. Tap ‘Continue’.

Step 5: Tap ‘Redeem’ to redeem the download code.

Step 6: You will be prompted for your iTunes password.

Step 7: You will see a message that you have successfully redeemed your code. Tap ‘Done’.

Step 8: The songs will begin to download. Success!!

Since I never heard of any of these artists, I was a little leery of the music. But much to my surprise, the music, for the most part, is pretty good.
